We’re just eight days out from the 2022 trade deadline, folks, and the Calgary Flames are well-positioned for playoff qualification and are still looking to upgrade their roster. Case in point: according to The Athletic’s Pierre LeBrun, they’re still in the hunt for Montreal Canadiens defender Ben Chiarot.
The Flames have been linked to Chiarot for months, and per reports from Frank Seravalli and Elliotte Friedman, Chiarot was part of trade discussions before the clubs pulled the trigger on a swap that sent Tyler Toffoli to Calgary on Valentine’s Day.
Per LeBrun, the Flames are balking at Montreal’s reported price tag for Chiarot.
